Year 3 had a fantastic trip to the Ashmolean Museum today, where they explored the fascinating Shang Dynasty. The children enjoyed discovering ancient Chinese artefacts, learning about early civilisation, and bringing their history learning to life. They were a credit to the school and showed great curiosity throughout the visit!
📚🏺 Well done, Year 3! We hope you enjoyed your journey back in time. 😊

Our EYFS children had a fantastic time when Farmer Gow’s visited school this week. They loved meeting the farm animals, feeding the goats, and even holding some of the smaller animals.
It was a wonderful hands-on experience that sparked lots of excitement and curiosity. The children were full of smiles and enjoyed every moment of their farmyard adventure! 🐑🐇✨
June is the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart is a devotion and symbol of Jesus’ burning love for us. In the Sunday Gospel, we see the deep love and compassion Jesus has for all people. Today in Year 5 we contemplated the great love Jesus has for us personally and how we can share his love in the world. The class created posters showing the symbol of The Sacred Heart and used words and images to express what this means to them.
Today in PE we looked at using the chest pass to build out distance and accuracy with passing and throwing. We played a game of ‘Bump’ to improve our speed and accuracy in a competitive scenario!

Year 4 have been learning about symmetry in 2D shapes. Using mirrors, the children investigated and identified lines of symmetry, helping them to understand how shapes can be divided into matching halves. They enjoyed exploring different shapes and testing their predictions.

Year 1 have continued developing their programming skills using ScratchJr. The children have been learning how to programme their sprites (characters) and, this week, explored how to change backgrounds and select different characters for their projects. They enjoyed experimenting with new features while building their confidence in coding.
Year 6 have been busy becoming Pope Leo experts! They researched his life and achievements and then showcased everything they discovered in some fantastic double-page spreads.
We are so impressed with the effort, creativity and presentation that has gone into their work. Take a look at the photos below to see their brilliant learning in action! 📚✨🖍️
Well done, Year 6! 🌟👏

Year 2 have been busy learning about time, including how many hours are in a day and how many minutes are in an hour. The children also practised telling the time using “minutes past” and “minutes to,” as well as learning to read o’clock and half past times. Overall, they have developed a total understanding of telling the time.
This week, the whole school took part in a special prayer service, linking our current RE
learning with our new virtue focus of Attentive and Discerning.
Together, we listened to the Gospel account of the first Pentecost and reflected on how the
Holy Spirit gave the disciples courage, wisdom and guidance. We then joined in prayer,
asking the Holy Spirit to help us listen carefully, make good choices and follow God's call in
our daily lives.
The children wrote their own prayers to the Holy Spirit, considering how they can show
courage and faith by being attentive and discerning in their words, actions and relationships
with others.
As part of this reflection, every child created a dove or flame symbol to represent the Holy
Spirit. These beautiful creations will come together to form a whole-school Pentecost display
in the hall, celebrating our shared faith and commitment to living out our virtues each day.
